Cura 5.3 : Issues in start gcode


Recommended Posts

Posted · Cura 5.3 : Issues in start gcode

I use some replacement parterns in my start gcode :

{used_material,x) -> adds Tx Material used by the tool

{used_nozzle_size,x) -> adds Tx Nozzle size used by the tool

 

It was working fine with Cura 5.2.2.

Upgrading to 5.3 has broken the replacement pattern for these two settings.

 

Is there a way to fix it ?

    I think you used {material_used,x} before. {used_material,x} never was something that Cura recognized.

    Similarly, you should use {machine_nozzle_size,x} not {used_nozzle_size,x}.

    Hi @ahoeben

    Thanks for your feedback. Indeed {material_used,x} and {machine_nozzle_size,x} are in the Settings and replacement patterns list. I've used them.

    I have realized that {used_material,x} and {used_nozzle_size,x} are functions generated by a plugin or a script written by my vendor to accommodate IDEX on Cura.

    I need to go deeper in the implementation

    Sorry, I was mistaken in my previous reply.

     

    {machine_nozzle_size, x} should work just like that (with the extruder nr filled in)

    {filament_amount} is replaced by a list, so you cannot specify an extruder number.

     

    For the full list of replacement patterns, see http://files.fieldofview.com/cura/Replacement_Patterns.html

    Also I have realized that the 2 functions created by my vendor works fine except if I disable the extruder 1.

        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
